Body weight increase and metabolic derangements after tenofovir disoproxil fumarate switch to tenofovir alafenamide in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The switch from TDF to TAF was associated with weight gain, derangements of lipid profile, and increased insulin resistance in patients with CHB. Long-term effects on these metabolic features need further investigation. |
Development of a model to identify patients who do not need oesophageal biopsies when eosinophilic oesophagitis is suspected. A simplified scoring system accurately identified a group of patients with a low likelihood of EoE where unnecessary oesophageal biopsies can be avoided, potentially resulting in resource and cost savings. |
Hepatobiliary disease after bone marrow transplant: A cross-sectional study of 377 patients. Hepatobiliary complications are frequent in patients undergoing BMT. There is a greater risk of their occurrence in women, people with pre-BMT liver alterations, and in haploidentical transplants. The occurrence of these complications increases the length of stay and is associated with a higher risk of death. |
Long-term follow-up of web-based and group-based behavioural intervention in NAFLD in a real world clinical setting. Although burdened by attrition, web-based behavioural intervention is feasible and effective in NAFLD, expanding the cohort involved in behavioural programs and reducing the risk of progressive disease. |
The assessment of segmental healing by the Modified Mayo Endoscopic Score (MMES) complements the prediction of long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ulcerative colitis. The MMES exhibited a benefit in predicting long-term outcome in UC even though endoscopic improvement remains the strongest predictor. |

Diagnostic Yield of Ambulatory Reflux Monitoring Systems for Evaluation of Chronic Laryngeal Symptoms. In this multicenter, international study of patients with chronic laryngeal symptoms referred for LPR evaluation, diagnostic yield of ambulatory reflux monitoring off acid suppression was 36% and rose to 50% when using wireless pH monitoring. In patients referred for chronic laryngeal symptoms, 24h pH-impedance monitoring may risk a low negative predictive value in patients with unproven GERD. |
EFFECT OF GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS ON BOWEL PREPARATION FOR COLONOSCOPY. The use of GLP-1RAs was associated with a statistically significantly lower quality of bowel preparation, with additional clinical significance given a notable difference in the need for a repeat colonoscopy. It will be essential to understand the cumulative effect of medications that may delay gastric emptying on the quality of bowel preparation to better understand the appropriate measures and counseling that need to be taken before undergoing outpatient colonoscopies. |
Endoscopic features of post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy and its management using ERCP. Gastrointestinal endoscopy makes an important contribution to the management of post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy. ERCP is not only of great diagnostic and prognostic value, but also has therapeutic value and therefore remains indispensable. |
Racial Disparities in Liver Disease Mortality Trends Among Black and White Populations in the United States, 1999-2020: An Analysis of CDC WONDER Database. The rise in ALD and MASLD-related deaths among Whites, and enduring liver cancer and viral hepatitis disparities in the Black population, underscore the urgent need for tailored public health interventions. |

Additional information obtained from mucosal biopsies is limited after pan-enteric capsule endoscopy in patients with suspected Crohn's disease. In patients with suspected CD and an evident result of CE, the additional information obtained from biopsies is limited, and CE as a single diagnostic procedure might be feasible in selected patients. Biopsies are warranted, however, in patients with an atypical endoscopic appearance or suspected malignancy. |
Capsule endoscopy with artificial intelligence-assisted technology: Real-world usage of a validated AI model for capsule image review. AI-assisted reading has shown significant time savings without reducing sensitivity in this study. Limitations remain in the evaluation of other indicators. |
EUS-guided transcolonic drainage and necrosectomy in walled-off necrosis: a retrospective, single-center case series. We included nine patients and found a technical success rate of 100%, clinical success in 89%, and one adverse event (11%). Transrectal/transcolonic endoscopic necrosectomy was needed in seven patients (78%). |

A real-time deep learning-based system for colorectal polyp size estimation by white-light endoscopy: development and multicenter prospective validation. ENDOANGEL-CPS could potentially improve the accuracy of colorectal polyp size measurements and size-based surveillance intervals. |
Direct diverticular peroral endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of thoracic esophageal diverticula: technique and outcomes. DD-POEM was a safe technique for the management of thoracic esophageal diverticula. Owing to its simplicity and excellent performance it should be further evaluated for the treatment of this disorder. |

High soluble fiber promotes colorectal tumorigenesis through modulating gut microbiota and metabolites in mice. Moreover, transplanting stools from mice fed with high-inulin diet increased colonic cell proliferation and oncogene expressions in germ-free mice. High-dose soluble but not insoluble fiber potentiates colorectal tumorigenesis in a dose-dependent manner by dysregulating gut microbiota and metabolites in mice. |
Using Computer Vision to Improve Endoscopic Disease Quantification in Therapeutic Clinical Trials of Ulcerative Colitis. As an automated and quantitative measure of global endoscopic disease severity, the CDS offers artificial intelligence enhancement of traditional MES capability to better evaluate UC in clinical trials and potentially practice. |

ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE-ASSISTED REAL-TIME MONITORING OF EFFECTIVE WITHDRAWAL TIME DURING COLONOSCOPY: A NOVEL QUALITY MARKER OF COLONOSCOPY. The AUC of EWT was also significantly higher than SWT on adenoma detection (0.80 [95%CI: 0.75 - 0.84] vs 0.70 [95%CI: 0.64-0.74], p <0.01). The AI-derived EWT monitoring is a promising novel quality indicator for colonoscopy, which is more associated with ADR than SWT. |
Development of Convolutional Neural Network Models That Recognize Normal Anatomical Structures During Real-Time Radial- and Linear-Array Endoscopic Ultrasound (with Videos). The proposed CNN models accurately recognize the normal anatomical structures in prerecorded videos and real-time EUS. Prospective trials are needed to evaluate the impact of these models on the learning curves of EUS trainees. |
Endoscopic resection of giant esophageal subepithelial lesions: experience from a large tertiary center. ER serves as a promising therapeutic option for esophageal g-SELs. A younger age, large tumor size, irregular shape and extraluminal growth may indicate increased ER difficulty, while a STER procedure tends to be of lower difficulty. Our nomogram model performs well to predict ER difficulty for esophageal g-SELs. |
Hybrid Resection versus Conventional Resection for Laterally Spreading Lesions of the Papilla. The novel hybrid resection technique for LSL-P management is associated with a high rate of RRA that is recalcitrant to treatment, without mitigating the risk of intraprocedural or delayed bleeding. Therefore, conventional hot-snare resection should remain the mainstay management option for treating patients with an LSL-P. |
Pancreatic Cyst Features Predict for Future Development of Pancreatic Cancer: Results of a Nested Case-Control Study. Age, cyst size, cyst growth rate, and high-risk or worrisome features are associated with higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Applying current and developing novel strategies are required to optimize early detection of pancreatic cancer after cyst diagnosis. |
Validation and update of clinical score model to predict technical difficulty of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection: A multicenter prospective cohort study. The original model achieved an acceptable level of prediction in the prospective cohort. The updated model exhibited superior performance and can be used in place of the previous version. |

Endothelial DGKG promotes tumor angiogenesis and immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma. Hypoxia-induced EC-specific DGKG hyper-expression promotes tumor angiogenesis and immune evasion via the ZEB2/TGF-ß1 axis, suggesting EC-specific DGKG as a potential therapeutic target for HCC. |
Higher TP53BP2 expression is associated with HBsAg loss in peginterferon-alpha-treated patients with chronic hepatitis B. This finding not only provides an exciting predictor for HBsAg loss but identifies a potential therapeutic target for Peg-IFNa treatment. We believe our results are of great interest to a wide range of stakeholders, including patients and patient organizations, the medical community, academia, the life science industry, and the general public. |
Predicting survival in patients with 'non-high-risk' acute variceal bleeding receiving ß-blockers+ligation to prevent re-bleeding. The majority of 'non-high-risk' patients with AVB have an excellent outcome, if treated according to current recommendations. However, about one fifth of patients, i.e., those with CTP =8 and/or high creatinine levels or hyponatremia, have a considerable risk of death within 1 year of the index bleed. Future clinical trials should investigate whether elective TIPS placement reduces mortality in these patients. |
Therapeutic vaccination with lentiviral vector in HBV-persistent mice and two inactive HBsAg carriers. A lentiviral-vectored therapeutic vaccine for chronic HBV infection demonstrated the potential to improve HBV-specific T cell response and deplete HBV-positive hepatocytes, leading to a sustained loss or reduction of serum HBsAg. |
